Karbonn A30 smartphone with 5.9″ screen launched at Rs. 10,990

Karbonn, the maker of entry level Android smartphones, has launched its newest device called the Karbonn A30. The dual SIM handset runs on Android 4.0 ICS. The smartphone is powered by a 1Ghz dual core processor which promises improved gaming performance and a better web browsing experience. While we’re a bit short on details here, we expect the phone to be powered by Mediatek’s dual core solution.

The screen size is 5.9 inches which is one of the biggest smartphone displays we’ve come across. Over at the back you’ll find an 8MP camera with LED flash. A 1.3MP front facing camera is also provided for video calling. In terms of connectivity features you’ll find 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth. The phone is equipped with a 2500 mAh battery which is pretty amazing and rare to see in a phone in this range. The memory card slot allows for up to 32GB of expandable storage. The phone has been priced at Rs. 10,990 and will ship in black or white with a complimentary leather cover.

[Update: Karbonn has officially launched the device as A30 Ta Fone for Rs. 12,900 (MRP). Saholic has also increased the price to Rs. 11,500.]
